Ms. Soe, I encourage you to put the address of your excellent blog in your signature. (oops, I see you did that already )

At some point I would like to showcase the works of this site's premier members/contributors on our front page. Among many highly skilled contributors, we also have several contributors here that are (in my not so humble opinion) absolutely outstanding reviewers/writers--Thomason, Thibodeau, Waffle, Booth, and a few others...nice to add to that list...

Thanks, I've been lurking for a long time. Can someone tell me how to post reviews?

Tang Wei: I didn't notice when I 'read' the article quickly this morning. Looking more closely, though, it is not Tang Wei from Lust, Caution, is it? Or am I mistaken?

I got the info from a bad google translate version of the linked article so I could be wrong. Maybe a native Chinese speaker could confirm. I'll squint at the pictures again to see if I can recognize her. I also want to know what it means when Francis Ng is referred to as "nervous knife."

That would be awesome, I'd love it! This site, along with lovehkfilm, is tops on my list.

I did some research. It turns out the actress in the photo is Xie Na. She's mainly a tv actress and also a singer. In the movie, she plays a character named Tang Wei.

Indeed, welcome aboard.

And also thanks for the link to your blog, where I was happy to read your January entry about a certain Asian-centric "filesharing"/illegal streaming site that has finally (hopefully) realized the ramifications of what they were doing, especially when they started charging people to watch their content! It's never anything to worry about until you get caught (or threatened), but the damage to the original creators is already done. Good to see them go legit--or whatever they call what they're doing now. Of course, even YouTube still crawls with full-length Asian content (in bite-size bits) that shouldn't be there (speaking of which, I was a bit dismayed to see folks at the Mobius forum--of all places--so willing to pimp for the practice today! )
